It’s more like “the Chinese government controls the thing an entire generation reaching voting age stares at all day.” If you thought Facebook and Twitter were bad for disinformation and radicalizing people just wait.
It highly depends on what the algorithm serves you. You might be insulated from the worst of it, especially if your opinions are cemented and you have some informational savvy. It’s a different story for kids and those who lack critical thinking skills
Incredible right wing MAGA Russia brainwashing diatribe. Honestly. You watch one video and the algorithm has you. All I get is fake news pressed as fact and the comment sections are atrocious. Oh and flat earth videos. I wish I could get some left wing stuff, it would make me a lot happier. I can see how people would fall in to a pit of despair and believe everything they see on TikTok.
I’ve heard “kids these days” don’t even google stuff any more, just search it on TikTok and have something explain it to them, wether it’s true or false.
Holy shit dude, did you use an actual picture of yourself on your lemmy profile?!
Edit: It gets worse 🤣. You filled out your bio with earnest irl information! And the funniest part is that (drumroll please), YOU WORK IN IT. bwahahahahaha

The only politics I learned on Tiktok was left leaning capitalism and basic socialist ideas.
If that’s radical then Lemmy is worse.

True!

Part of me wants to investigate, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to mess up my algorithm. I wonder if I can have a second account somehow.
Ha! I feel like there isn’t anyone who isn’t considered a fascist on Lemmy 😉
That’s exactly what a fascist would say!

Go on…
What are you scared of?
Why would you assume I didn’t understand the idea of an anonymous account?
No, I don’t think you understand. You’re treating lemmy like it’s facebook or something. It’s just so out of touch

I’m fucking dying. 🤣
